I do know this , so why do I doubt this? We all need to refresh out testimony.

Are you willing to do what it takes to know?

You feel good, alot of people tell you otherwise, but is humbling to know you are doing great but you recieve no confirmation of it.

God does love us even when things do not seem to indicate it.

I pray notes to my mother through God.

I learned so much about the sort of woman she was in reading letters others had written thanking her for her service.

To remove sorrow from death is to remove love from life.

Just as we trail glory to come to this life we ought to be trailing them as we leave this life.

In all of the great stories in the scriptures, there are many "unsung heroes" such is the case with callings in the church.

"If I had been more resourceful the task would have been easier for me."

Challanges and resourcefulness were two of the three pillars on the trophy/medal.

Family history has,many phases of interest that finally ends as a disease.

Every thing was magnified with the spirit, even the snow is beautiful. -Sis Drosmlcher.

God could not visit, but when Adam and Eve left the garden they fell and could not be in the prescence of their father, it was like a child being seperated from parents but were given the Holy Ghist to provide comfort and reassurance.

Adam and Eve testify and prophesy when the Holy Ghost falls upon them.

This account is in Moses 5 in PoGP. We are very fortunate to have that.

HolyGhost
3 pillars of Creation

HF is the architect
JC is our Savior
HG is the communicator/comforter
They together are God.

It is curious to me why Joseph Smith was not translated like Moses? Or he could see God whereas Adam could not.

Shalom - peace. "Peace I give you... "

Quote by Parley Pratt about how the Holy Ghost effects you exactly what Sister Droscher said today.

When we recall things by the spirit it is likely more "indellible" than before.

To get you where you are to where you want to be requires overcoming trials.

We all have to endure things but we get little miracles and tender mercies and we need to allow them to charge us (like a breath of air before we dive back down).

God does hear and infact answers prayers because she was trying desperately to change and have a positive.

I asked for happiness, but did not actually believe it was possible.

For getting the putside to reflect the changes that have happened internally will likely take a while.

What are the little tender mercies? They are gifts and do not just happen sporadically or at a time of no consequence. There is a talk by Bednar on it given in april 2005.

Each day look down and record the events that God had done to help us. It helps you be mindful.

When we actively look for them we see them more, we are not actually receiving more in our lives.
"We can live 1 of 2 ways. To believe everything is a miracle or nothing is."- Albert Einstein

Change to being positive is not an instant burst, but a gradual change.

God loves me for who I am and that I am trying to be better.

The most miserable people are the self centeresd ones, a way to overcome is to loose yourself in serving others.

You can choose how to be.

Improvememt is an up and down eb and flow we feel like we are doing a pretty good then we are smacked down.

Walking home, what are you going to see? Your choice what sort of trip you will have.

Men are that they might have joy.
